Just because I was bored. It wasn't as hard a list to make as I thought it would be. Like George Costanza architect alter-ego building that new addition to the Guggenheim, it really didn't take very long, either. The only one I had to look up was the Giants. And for the Indians, I initially thought 1934, because I always think that, thanks to Lynn giving Jake 555-1934 as her fake phone number in Major League. I should know better, what with that being one of the one-game playoff years. Sox fans over 65 will be all over me for that one, I'm sure. The rest, I think, are right. Feel free to double check me. Also, I wanted to do this while the Sox are still at the top of the list. You'll note that the Red Sox are in the top four, or "first division," while the yanks are in the lesser-quality bottom twenty-six.

What always amazes me about this list is how much parity there was in the 80's. I believe it was the first decade in history where there were ten WS played and ten different teams won exactly one championship.

The parity of the '80's was most likely due to the dawn of free agency. This has slowed down a bit with competitve advantage some teams have ($$$$) in the free agent market.

Also: I see you have again changed the name of your site, now "Home of Chan" that rocks. say hi to him for me, and tell him I'm looking for a phone number I left on a sugar packet on his kitchen table... Anyway, am I the only one who doesn't see the new titles in your header?

Sam, all you missed was the Tigers winning like every single game that year. Probably the surest thing in my lifetime of sports-watching is that they'd win the World Series that year. (As far as, say, if you were asked who would win mid-way through a season. And for the last out of the Series, the announcer said, as the fly ball was hit out to, maybe, Chet Lemon, "And we'll let you enjoy..." before shutting up.
